FORTY -FILIPINO TRIBES AT THE WORLD'S FAIR AFFORD A STUDY IN VARIOUS TYPES,

Anthropological authorities state that
forty different tribes are represented in
the L" native Filipinos at the World's

lages. These villages are the Visavacs. the
lgorrotcs and tho Ticguanese. and other
Lanao Moro-j and the Samal Moro.
In tho Igorrole village there are three
of the forty trlofs. the Bontoc and Sujoc
Igorrotes and the Tinguanese and other
vtlUges Include tribal divisions.
While the uninitiated there may be no
diernibl difference b-twe-n the mem
bers of k village and the members of the
tribes still the differences exist to a
marked degree between the members of
different villages and to an appreciable
extent b-teen members of tribes belong
ing to the sam- village.
AHe from the fart that the Filipinos
are citizens of the Vnlted States and as
such entitled to every consideration, they
Br' of interest not only to the student but
to th- sight-seer, as the large attendance
at th- Philippine Reservation proves.
It I claimed by the students or anthro
pologv that the?" new American citizen-,
with 'the exception of one tribe, are de
scendants of the Malays or of Malayan
origin, though some (.ay they are Aryans.
The one exc-ptlon is th- Negrito uib-. and
they are a pusxie to the scientists as to
their orlrln. Some claim that th-y were

At any rate, they arc the lowest type In

Human Bodies From Cbicapo
Will Be Cut Up in Daily
Demonstrations.
ONE OF THE "PROCESS" IDEAS.
Doctor and Mrs. Eckler of the
University of Illinois to Show
Pnblic How Diseases Are
Treated,
A model dfsFectins-i-oora, where public
demonstrations with human bodies as sub
jects will be given dally. Is the latest and
most Btartlins development of the "proc
ess" idea of tho World's Fair. To the
University of Illinois belongs tho credit
of this scientific innovation.
The dlssectirE-room. -with all t.h- fit
tings. Instruments and paraphernalia of
an Ideal and modm operating-room, is
now being equipped in tho natholocical
exhibit of the Unlver-ity of Illinois, on the
Mjuth balcony of the Palace of Education.
Tho work of fitting up the room Is being
lonn under the suprvIton of Doctor W
T. Eckley, professor of anatomy in the
medical department of tho university. Doc
tor Eckley. xrith. his wife, who ia also an
urvitom1c.il demonstrator in thei university
medical department. Is in charge of the
pathological exhibit.
The room will b oner.ed to the public
early thin week, and daily demonstrations
of pome operation will be given under the
direction of Doctor and Mrs 13 klev In the
Tuyra. The subjects for the operations will
be cadavers furnished from Chiraso The
dissections will Ik- fre- m the tiub'lc.
Tho pathological exhibit of tho Univer
sity of Illinois i one of the must interest

position. There arc dozen" of sl?s Jio
containing diseaeO tia't of tlie human
nyptem. prcerved for the. benefit cf th
followers of tc most "humane of kc1-etiee-."
-
It Is Doctor Eckley desire, however, to
be in line with the "process" slogan of
the lYmlsiana Purcha-c Exposition and
to fbow by actual demonstration how
these disease arv treated and cured. The
nctual ope'atlons on I sea'ed subl-cts
seemed to offer the very best way of show -
ing this, and tnejdissecuons ana opera

Doctor Eckley explained yesterday th.t
the dissecting-room would be a complete

d-alers In medical instruments and sup
plies will furnish their wares for the rocm

Physicians, sjrgeons ami trained nurses
will be n attendance at the demonstra
tions, and the public mav learn In what
manner the human body Is treated to rid
It of the ills that flesh is heir to.
